Prequel Poll: Who was the better Anakin?

[Krystal]

Well, so far I have to vote neither do it for me. Didn't like the performance of Anakin in both movies. Nothing personal to the actors I just think the character have so many flaws that didn't make me enjoy it.

Well, I have to disagree with you there, Krystal. I think Jake's a passable actor and Hayden can be really good, but only with the right director.

The character of Anakin/Vader is great. There are tons of layers, awesome internal conflict that is manifested outward, and a complex family history. These are details that I love. I even like Boba Fett more now that he has a history.

I still think it's the heavy-handed direction that dulls the performances.

Hey! don't worry that is what makes movies so great, its touch people in different ways. I agree the character of Anakin/Vader is great, also it have a tons of layers to play. But I think they didn't play it in both movies. As I say I don't like the performances but I'm sure probably the script have a lot to do also. I don't know any of the two actors before and don't think they're bad actors. Only that personally for me I don't like both of their Anakin representations. I was probably expecting so much more of this character. So maybe another actor wouldn't make the difference anyway.

I have to agree with the Boba Fett story, that was one of the things I enjoy of Attack of The Clones. It make me understand more where Boba Fett comes from as a character. It was so cool to see his story as a boy.
